How to Relax. g Cold weather, whetter damp or dry, will n produce, even if we are extremely careful, tc sudden soreness and stiffness of the limbs ci and muscles. Thi6 is much owing to sudden tl change of temperature from a warm room to j\] out-door air. Cold contracts and warmth u expands or relaxes, and it is for this reason *, that when one is sore and stiff from sudden iVj cold, the application of St. Jacobs Oil brings n immediate and sure relief, as it gives warmth and relaxation to the stiffened muscles and ^ makes supple the sore and cramped limbs. With a vigorous rubbing with this great D /' remedy for pain, no one need suffer with g: oreness and stiffness more than a very ?hort v time. It is especially the best remedy tor _ suffering where we require a prompt cure, w and it is particularly the best because its o: cures are permanent. o California now exports about $3,000,000 wcrcn 01 csincu i turners ycnny.

[owjlt Is Cultivated In MexicoRapid Growth of the PodsCuring;, Drying and Sending to Market. r" <TT"ANILLA rt8 a flavoring for ice\ / creams and other delicacies, Y from once being considered a luxury, has now come to be so enerally used that it is considered a ecessity, and it would be very hard > find a substitute for it. Commerlal extract of vanilla is obtained from le vanilla bean, which is a native of fexico, and is probably the most valable fruit grown, the best quality of [exican beans otten oeing worm early their weight in silver. The vanilia plant i6 a climbing vine, ith a stem about as thick as an or diary lead pencil, covered with dark reen, epear shaped leaves. These ines throw out small aerial roots hich attach themselves to the bark f a neighboring tree and appear to btainsome nourishment from the sap T the tree. In their 'wild state the ines entirely cover the branches of a ee, and running from it into adjoinig trees, form festoons and arbors so lick as to exclude the rays of the in und make progress through the >rest almost impossible. For a great iany years no attempt whatever was iade to cultivate the plants, but as le supply decreased from year to 2ar and the demand increased some eps had to be taken to procure a ore adequate supply. The vanilla vines blossom profusely iring March and April. The flower yellow and has a very agreeable reet smell. By far the greater numn of blossoms wither and fall off, la tUti ones producing ueaus are ? sry small percentage of the total imber. The beaus grow very rapidly r the first two months, and by the :st of July have attained their full ze, and from that time on grow but ttle, if any. The beans, or pods, are om six to twelve inches long, and >ont half inch in diameter, and when pe are about the color of a banana, id have very much the 6ame appearice, except that they are a little less diameter and somewhat longer, ich vine yields about 100 beans, and me vines have a single branch that >ar twelve or fifteen pods. From the first of July, when the :an is a dark-green color, it grows it little in size, turning gradually yellow color, until the last, of Decern ;r or first of January, when it is fully pe and ready for gathering. The )ds are filled with minute black 6eede td a small quantity of pulp, and hen prepared for market become reiced to about one-fourth their origiil thickness, are black in color, and nit a very sweet, agreeable perfume. Although the beans do not become toroughly ripened until the firet of mnATv. there is snch a demand for iem that the growers begin to gather ie crop in November. Beans gathered rfore they are ripe cannot be as ladily cured. anc| the growers do not st so much lor them. They are ob;ed to begin picking them before iey are ripe, however, as if they do )t some one else wonld save the mers the trouble of gathering them, id they wonld thus be deprived of ,e results of much hard labor and re. One of the greatest expenses the owers are put to is in properly larding their plantations, that their op, in whole or in part, may not be olen by the nativea It is impossible make these people understand that e beans are not growing wild, and e property of any one who is willing gather them. The enrinc of the beans is a slow. 0 - ' dious process, and one raquiring a -eat amount of care and attention, or the most part the growers do not ire their own beans, bat sell them in iscellaneous lots to ourers, who emoy experts for that purpose. The ital time consumed by the curing roce^e is about five months. The ;ans as soon as gathered are spread it in the sun on black blankets, and lowed to remain until they are quite )t to the touch. They are then ithered up and placed in a sweating >x, which is Bimply a wooden box rge enough to hold all the beans, biis box is well warmed in the sun, id its whole interior is then lined ith blankets that have been out in 10 su.n. After the beans are in the box the ids ot the blankets are loided over tern, and other warmed blankets are aced over and around the box. The hole is then allowed to remain for lirty-six hours, by which time the pe6t oi the vanilla will begin to turn laok, and the box will have lost most i its heat. The beans now have to be >read out in the sun again, after hich they are again sweated, and xis process continued four or five mes, until the beans are the proper >lor. As the ripe beans turn black the uickest, after each sweating the hole lot has to be gone over, and the nes which are black enough picked at and placed by themselves. .Great xre must be exercised in this process, if they are very little oversweated, is sufficient to reduce the weight bout one pound per thousand bean?, hich would be a great loss, and. as ae bean loses part of its color when verdried, there is a further loss of bout SI per pound on account of poor Dior. As soon as the beans have been euffiiently sweated and are of the proper olor they are spread out on drying neks, being carefully gone over from ay to day, and any that show signs f moisture or mold are taken out and ut in the 9iin until the mold disppenrs, when they are again placed n the racks. When of the proper ryness, which the operator from exerience can judge very accurately by lie feeling of the bean, they are taken rom the racks and carefully assorted ato bunches of fifty, all the beans in ne bunch being of the same length. The bunches are then carefully tied nd placed in tin boxes, each box holdag lorty bunches. It is an easy mater to tie the vanilla, but it is not very one who knows how to do it so hat the bunches present a good apearance and keep their shape during requeni. handlings, to which the nnches muet necessarily be subjected. All the pode of irregular shape arc p tit in the center of the bunch, as if or wiil anil iffi fir?npn>. ?"V U 14 VU1UV l/UV J 'UU HV4? 4VW ance.

These boxi.'e are then covered with a fiber matting made by the Mexicans, and the beaii3 ? are ready for shipment. Two of tho y0l cases are strapped on the back of a W1t mule or burro, which are then started Qnt for the coast in strings of eight or ten <30^ animals; thence the vanilla ie shipped fl0i to Europe or the United States b;7 <Jar steamer, reaching its destination about a g the middle of June or first of July. for The price the beans bring depends 8au entirely on their length and color, and fin< varies from $8 to $15 per pound. Each tell bunch of fifty beans -weighs from a hoi ponnd to a pound and a half, and a tin Jot containing forty bunches is worth low therefore in the neighborhood of $500. piu ?Chicago Record. thi ' anc Strangely Warned.

It was too ^le great a surprise for her to speak and demand who was thus intruding un- an( bidden upon her privacy and what _a was wanted. She remained for a mo- j ' ment in silent astonishment. Then it gradually dawned upon her her that the figure was probably not ue " - - * 1 U teat 01 a person 01 reai uesu ituu ^ blood, but a visitor from the uuseen gr(E world of life.

Cunclud- ttn(; ing that this new visitor also was not Bhc a person of flesh and blood, she sat a3 ( silently gazing at the silent objeot, wjj while the intruder, whoever or what- wh ever he was, sat also in silence, steadily !pra regarding her.
